I am Virginia Ervin Morgan Nelson, second-born of four to H.S. and Ola E. Morgan - all glory to God! My husband of almost sixty-six years, Joseph Austin Nelson, went Home to Heaven six years before me. We bore three precious children who married and bore children who married and bore children. I will be looking forward to their arrival Home at the Appointed Time too, full of good news from lives well lived. Our children are Susan (Ron) Sauer, Dan Austin (Judy) Nelson, and David S. (Sheila) Nelson. The first begat Jan (Christofer) Manser, Joe (Christina) Sauer & Jeff Sauer; the second begat Benjamin D (Sharon) Nelson, Ruth D. (Justin) Soto, Grace A. (Matthew) Bedford, Stephen T., and Joshua C. Nelson; the third begat Matthew D. (C.J.) Nelson, Kimberly R. (Casey) Stallings, and Wesley G. Nelson. I've been blessed with eight Great Grandchildren: three daughters from Ruth and Justin; four (two of each) from Grace and Matthew; one from Kimberly and Casey.

I was born on March 31, 1922, and born again as a little child. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has worked with me 94 years and almost seven months, forgiven me by His perfect sacrifice made available to all who will take His Gift as their own (John 1:12). See you soon! To God be the Glory!

Funeral in Kenbridge, VA, at Ebenezer Presbyterian Church (where she was married in 1944), Saturday, October 15, 2016; 12-1 viewing, 1-2 service, interment afterwards.
